Setup

1. Unpacking: Remove all packaging materials, stickers, and labels.
2. Initial Cleaning: Wash the removable pan and basket with hot water, dish soap, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the inside and outside of the main unit with a damp cloth.
3. Placement: Place the air fryer on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm of free space around the back and sides, and above the appliance for proper air circulation.
4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
5. First Use (Burn-in): For the first use, it is recommended to run the air fryer empty for about 10-15 minutes at 180°C to eliminate any manufacturing odors. A slight smell or smoke may occur, which is normal. Ensure good ventilation during this process.

Operating Instructions

General Operation

1. Prepare Food: Place your ingredients into the air fryer basket. Do not overfill the basket to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
2. Insert Basket: Slide the basket and pan assembly back into the main unit until it clicks securely into place.
3. Set Temperature: Use the temperature control dial to select the desired cooking temperature (up to 200°C).
4. Set Time: Use the timer dial to set the desired cooking time. The air fryer will automatically turn off when the timer reaches zero.
5. Cooking Process: The air fryer will begin heating. For best results, shake the basket halfway through the cooking time for items like fries or nuggets to ensure even crisping. To do this, pull out the basket using the cool-touch handle, shake, and then reinsert. The air fryer will resume cooking.
6. Check Doneness: Once the timer rings, carefully pull out the basket and check if the food is cooked to your preference. If not, reinsert the basket and set the timer for a few more minutes.
7. Serve: Carefully remove the cooked food from the basket. Use tongs or pour directly onto a plate. Be cautious of hot oil or food.
